CLAY: We talked about this a little bit yesterday to finish the show, but I want to give a shout-out right now because I know we have a monster number of people out there listening in Canada who are right now standing up against covid vaccine mandates and the insanity that is existing all throughout Canada — and, in fact, there is a caravan of truckers go all over the country that is being joined by massive amounts of supporters standing on the sides of the road.
This has started to get Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s attention, and he ain’t happy with it because people are questioning the decisions that he is making, which are insane, Buck. I know we talk about the craziness of covid in the United States. But, Buck, they are requiring “minders” in Quebec to go into stores with unvaccinated people and ensure that they only buy food or medicine and disallow you to go, say, “Let’s go buy some shoes.” (laughs) Like, you’re not allowed to do that in the Canadian stores right now.
BUCK: It’s crazy, Clay, but it also factors into what we’ve seen for a long time now, but I think is increasingly clear. A lot of what covid policy has become is about punishing the disobedient. In no way can anyone make an argument it actually keeps anyone safer from covid. It’s “you’re not doing what we want, so we’re gonna just add more and more things to punish you.”
Tthere was also that story — I don’t think we mentioned on the show — the father of two who’s on the top of the heart transparent list in Boston. And they took him off the heart transplant list ’cause he won’t get the shot. You’re gonna deny this guy! They’re denying people treatment in some hospitals now if they’re not vaccinated for a vaccine that, let’s be very clear, everybody, does not stop the spread. Full stop.
CLAY: Amen. Here is Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau calling the trucker convoy “a fringe minority,” and, listen to this, “Holding unacceptable views.” Unacceptable views supporting freedom! Listen to this.
TRUDEAU: The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa or who are holding, uh, unacceptable views, uh, that they are expressing do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other, who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, our rights, our values as a country.
BUCK: We should have put a warning out there, Clay: Just listening to Justin Trudeau will cause a drop in male testosterone.
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: So just know that right away, you know, for the folks out there. I’m just saying it’s true. What? It’s reality.
CLAY. Oh, my God. And I know we’ve got a lot of truckers out there listening. But, Buck, to have a leader of a free country out there saying what opinions are acceptable and unacceptable for his citizens to have, particularly in the midst of a major public policy dispute, is a next level of censorship.
Wherever and however you choose to consume the show, we are thankful!
